Corporate Branding

Your brand is the story that your audience writes – make it a good one.

What is a Brand?

A brand is a user-perceived personality that they associate with a company or organization. This personality portrays their view of an organization’s quality, value, trustworthiness, style, and more. Keep in mind that branding is much more than a logo or color palette. It is the reason that compels your audience to seek out your products or services because they feel that they will ultimately improve their lives.

Significance of a Brand

Today, first impressions happen more than ever—and they don’t last a lifetime. Information is being shared at such a high speed that it is impossible for users to retain every bit of material. To leave an impression something special must spark between a brand and its audience, which is why brand development is crucial.

The Most Important Rule for Any Brand

At DVS, we believe that every brand must have a voice. A voice that flows through every piece of an organization, projecting your “why”; why your services or products improve the lives of your customers.
A few of the most recognizable brands in the world are:

Nike

Chase

Shell

McDonalds

NBC

apple

What makes each of these brands significant is that they clearly project their why to their audience. They’ve had a clear visual brand and voice for years, to the point where their brand assets are now iconic. Their names, logos, and taglines are so recognizable that no explanation is needed to depict their brand values.

Of course, to achieve such a prestigious level is a long process, but with the right development, design, and strategy your brand can grow to do the same.

Brand Development

At DVS we understand the significance of branding, especially from a digital marketing point of view. When we begin to develop or improve a brand, we start by listening.

We ask questions like:

Who is your audience?

Why did you start your business?

Why does your product or service improve the lives of your audience?

What are your goals?

Who is your competition, and why are you the better choice?

What are your unique selling points?

Research & Inspiration

Now that we have a clear understanding of your target audience, goals, and desired brand identity—we research! We take a deep look at your audience, developing and identifying personas that we think are the best for your company. We also review your competition, analyzing previous styles and tactics throughout your industry, ensuring your brand identity is unique to your organization.

Now that we have had our discovery session and done our research, we use that information to design your brand.
